The man had been sentenced to nine years behind bars but failed to return to his jail after being given some ‘prison leave’.
Barring any parole, the rapist still had five years of his sentence remaining before absconding.
The offences were committed after his family moved to the United Kingdom with the first abuses happening when the stepdaughter was aged 16.
The Policia Nacional were told that the Belgian national was staying in a Benidorm hotel and he was duly arrested.
He has been handed over to the National Court which handles extradition proceedings.
